the_o example_n of_o asia_n egypt_n greece_n and_o africa_n shall_v make_v we_o tremble_v under_o the_o mighty_a and_o heavy_a hand_n of_o the_o lord_n go_v unto_o silo_n and_o see_v what_o i_o have_v

for_o we_o can_v by_o any_o mean_n avoid_v the_o inevitable_a necessity_n of_o wage_n war_n see_v it_o be_v but_o defensive_a the_o which_o we_o can_v abandon_v unless_o we_o will_v betray_v the_o

respect_n see_v the_o great_a bitterness_n of_o the_o malicious_a spiteful_a adversary_n of_o his_o holy_a word_n to_o be_v whole_o bend_v to_o extirp_v and_o root_v it_o out_o stop_v their_o eye_n

it_o shall_v please_v our_o good_a god_n to_o give_v it_o see_v that_o the_o choice_n and_o disposition_n thereof_o rest_v not_o in_o our_o power_n to_o determine_v of_o but_o yet_o the_o better_a to_o sound_v the_o ground_n of_o this_o matter_n let_v we_o see_v if_o this_o opposition_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o a_o reply_n for_o when_o i_o cast_v my_o eye_n upon_o the_o infinite_a diversity_n of_o mean_n which_o almighty_a god_n have_v in_o his_o divine_a and_o everlasting_a power_n to_o preserve_v and_o defend_v his_o church_n even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o wicked_a babylon_n and_o that_o he_o hold_v and_o rule_v the_o heart_n of_o king_n and_o prince_n in_o his_o hand_n to_o work_v they_o and_o turn_v they_o like_o wax_n even_o at_o his_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n i_o think_v then_o sometime_o and_o consider_v with_o myself_o that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a strange_a and_o wonderful_a thing_n why_o that_o in_o all_o our_o action_n and_o enterprise_n whatsoever_o we_o shall_v seem_v as_o it_o be_v to_o distrust_v or_o make_v any_o doubt_n of_o this_o his_o great_a power_n and_o virtue_n the_o which_o notwithstanding_o we_o see_v more_o often_o exercise_v by_o he_o to_o the_o good_a and_o benefit_n of_o his_o servant_n than_o that_o which_o we_o attend_v of_o he_o for_o without_o 1585._o doubt_n almighty_a god_n be_v as_o powerful_a to_o bend_v the_o heart_n of_o king_n and_o prince_n to_o mercy_n unto_o their_o subject_n and_o to_o make_v they_o do_v that_o which_o they_o have_v never_o before_o pretend_v as_o he_o be_v to_o give_v victory_n and_o conquest_n unto_o they_o that_o without_o any_o appearance_n of_o mean_n have_v no_o special_a revelation_n nor_o warrant_n attempt_v war_n against_o great_a and_o mighty_a king_n and_o potentate_n but_o he_o do_v it_o much_o more_o common_o for_o in_o persuall_a of_o all_o the_o ancient_a history_n of_o forepast_a age_n you_o shall_v find_v a_o thousand_o example_n of_o the_o one_o and_o scarce_o one_o
